This looks like hoax to me.
- rozab 7y agoMe too. It reminds me of the small ARG MGMT did around their song 'Little Dark Age', where they made various retro renditions and allowed them to surface on the internet, implying theirs was a cover of an older, forgotten song.
- SideburnsOfDoom 7y agoI disagree. it sounds like a real, OK sounding single or demo from some unknown band in the mid 80s. The fascination with it now is the odd part.
- SideburnsOfDoom 7y agoTo be clear, I expect that there were lots of local bands in the mid 80s playing decent-but-generic songs like this to appreciative local audiences. Most of them are lost to the mists of time. This one is not. Others here have said the same in comments: "There are millions of songs like this that are lost in obscurity. "There are millions of demo tapes and CDs from endless ad-hoc bands that were never known" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22637580 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22637580
